Children and Young People's Participation in Planning and Regeneration

The study set out to examine children and young people's roles in planning, design and regeneration in the UK and internationally; to map and assess different models of practice, and to locate these practices within wider debates about children's participation and citizenship. It also aimed to review the methods used to measure impact and outcomes in this area.

The research was carried out between June 2010 and January 2011, and funded through the 2010-11 Round of the Ecorys Research Programme. The methodology comprised a review of UK and international research literature, adopting the principles of a Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA)2; an analysis of selected UK policy and strategy documents, and a small number of exploratory stakeholder interviews. The research team was supported by an Advisory Group with representatives from policy and academia.
